The servers were remarkably sweet people! I enjoyed the ambience, coffee, outdoor seating and the blueberry scone was flavorful, fresh, hearty, and beautiful. Definitely could taste the blueberries and cinnamon. It wasn’t too sweet, even my typically non-pastry spouse who isn’t gf enjoyed it.

The prices were quite fair. I’m from another area where I would have paid double at least for the scone. They offered alternative milks at no additional cost!

-but-

The gluten free selection was extremely limited, I did like the scone but the only other baked goods options were a muffin, a brownie, a Rice Krispie treat and and a couple other super basic things alongside an absolutely gorgeous selection of croissants, cinnamon rolls, pineapple cake, crepes, French toast, and pancakes which were all not available to those of us who can’t eat gluten. Those of us on this app are probably looking for that unicorn place in the world that will offer us crepes too 😢

There were a couple good looking savory breakfast bowls and meals, the drinks I didn’t try looked creative and delicious. It’s not as though there’s nothing, but looking at the menu of amazing food being unable to eat it defeats the purpose of going to that place almost completely.

Sadly worth mentioning: there was a misunderstanding wherein I accidentally paid for their strawberry goat cheese toast thinking I got French toast… for some reason they have gf bread but “can’t” make French toast. I misunderstood and when the available dish was suggested, I thought she was offering to add strawberries.

The toast I got wasn’t toasted and I asked to hold and sub the honey which didn’t happen. It was pretty to look at and tasty, yet the exchange was unfortunate and as a pregnant person goat cheese is not the greatest and it upset my stomach. I would not have ordered it and the server wasn’t up for discussing the issue.

I did love the lavender latte, and again the scone was super good compared to many others I’ve had and the servers were friendly other than that misunderstanding. I don’t recommend it as a destination spot for gluten free choices unless you’re nearby and aren’t as picky as me! For a quick, casual snack and a coffee you’ll likely be satisfied ✌🏽💜

Came here for soup and sandwiches and left very happy with my experience! The staff was incredibly sweet and kind. The chef came out to ask if I was comfortable using the regular toaster for my GF bread. I wasn't, but I'm happy she asked to double checked! She also cleaned and sanitized the cooking area and made my sandwich first to avoid cross contamination. The vegan split pea soup was soooooo good. Also got a chai latte with oat milk that was very good!

They had a GF breakfast stack (eggs, bacon, cheese). The server was very aware, called herself the “allergy queen” and sanitized the cook area for me. She even gave me regular knife/fork as she was sure of the compostable flatware they usually use had wheat.

Had the cranberry walnut salad! I was nervous because it isn’t a dedicated space, but the staff let me read the salad dressing label to ensure it was GF and I didn’t have any adverse reactions!
